[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1321006, member: 555320"] passive = crossed over after amplification (between the amplifier and the speaker) active = crossed over prior to amplification (either in the amp, in the HU or with an external active xover) Active gives you much more tuning ability, such as the ability to set the crossover point and slope, both of which are normally a fixed value in a passive xover.
